The next morning, Newt woke up to find Clover missing from her bed. "Clover?"

He looked through every inch of her flat, checking her kitchen to see if she was making breakfast, his guest room, even the loo, yet he couldn't find her anywhere in the apartment. "Clover!" Newt called, his stride faster now, worried as heck. He couldn't imagine her leaving without a note so he quickly checked for a slip of paper.

There wasn't one.

"Clover, please don't be gone..." he mumbled softly to himself.

Newt decided to check in his case, thinking maybe there was a beast that could help him. He scuttled to his room and rushed down the rungs of the ladder to hear a soft singing voice and his containers of bowtruckle feed missing.

"Feeling my way through the darkness,
Guided by a beating heart.
I can't tell where the journey will end,
But I know where to start.
They tell me I'm too young to understand.
They say I'm caught up in a dream.
Well, life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes.
Well that's fine by me.
So wake me up when it's all over.
When I'm wiser and I'm older.
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost.
So wake me up when it's all over.
When I'm wiser and I'm older.
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost.
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands.
Hope I get the chance to travel the world.
But I don't have any plans.
Wish that I could stay forever this young.
Not afraid to close my eyes.
I can't tell when the journey will end, but I know where to start."

And there she was. Clover was smiling and singing quietly to the bowtruckles while she fed them, Stella perched on her shoulder.

"I found you my little Fantastic Beast."

Clover looked up and blushed. "Oh, hello Newt."

Newt waltzed over and pecked her soft lips. Clover smiled and giggled softly. "Someone's looking dapper." She glanced over to his pajama bottoms and lack of a shirt.

Newt chuckled and flushed in embarrassment. "I was too busy looking for you. Scared me, you old silly."

Clover laughed and rolled her eyes. "You didn't look everywhere."

"Clearly." He smiled at her, looking into those sparking green eyes.
